sounds great daryl. I will download the pack now, and try it a little later

[pilotdaryl 25]

Hello again, people, i have come to tell you that this team IS NOT DEAD!

Actually I am gonna tell you about a new level for me in The Airport Team: Aircraft.  Now, I got Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and could easily convert the aircraft for SimCity 4.  And, as a dual I could make custom content for both FS and SC4.

So I guess I'll start by downloading the SDK files I need.

[canuck3360 14]

Have you tried Flight Simulator X? it is insanly great I'm waiting for the Virtual Airline I fly for gets our custom Fleet into FSX before I buy it

[pilotdaryl 25]

Naw FSX is too heavy and my PC won't handle it.

[tommiej 0]

FSX is really heavy, 1gb ram at least, dual core processor, about 17 gb free space, damn good videocard.

I would like to see some more plane skins.  But not made up ones, real ones!

I am requesting these two.

Thanks!  hope this can be done!

Out of Curiosity how are you converting the FS Aircraft into SC ?I've tried it a few times and haven't been able to get the models opened into GMAX,I would love to be able to cause much like the Military Aircraft(I have) I would love to have Plopable Aircraft(737,747,757,767,777,Airbus 319,330,340,DC-9,DC-10,Embraer 170,Dash 8's and so on) I have a very Extensive Aircraft Folder as I fly for Eastern Virtual Airlines as well as Air Canada,Delta and Northwest so I have alot of Different Types of Aircraft in Different Paint Schemes that I would love to have some Ploppable Diversity and actually have seperate Terminals and so on

[pilotdaryl 25]

nycsc4: Okay I will give it a try for the 707 and maybe the 767.

canuck3360: Due to a few copyright issues and the GMAX opening problem I may not continue converting FS aircraft to SC4 props.

[canuck3360 14]

well I'll still be working on it for my own personal use. Thanks though.

out of Curiosity are you Flying for any Virtual Airlines?

[pilotdaryl 25]

canuck: Well I've no addons yet I just fly for the default airlines.

blackphoenixsim4: Are you sure these are only 2 pieces and there are no thresholds, runway intersections, taxiway exits, touchdown zones, stopway or any of that.  Just two 2x3 pieces you can find in the parks menu.

Pardon me checked the lot editor the other day and there is only 1 lot with the skid marks.

I'd suggest waiting for the full pack which should be released in around mid-2007 (or whenever RMIP-2 Large Airport Edition comes out).

[canuck3360 14]

ahhh that explains some YOu should check out AVSIM.com you'll find that there are tons of Aircraft to add on and if your ever intrested in Flying for a Virtual Airlines feel free to contact me and I'll send you a couple good ones to start with

[booman443 0]

www.simairline.net is in my opinion the best site out there for flying virtual airlines! My brother is the general manager for Midwest Virtual.

[canuck3360 14]

I flew with SimAirline.net for awhile I personally think Eastern Virtual(www.evair.com)(whom I fly for now) and Virtual Air Canada(www.vacanada.org) have been my two favorites that I have flown for Simairline.net was good but I like the structure a bit more of VAC an I like the Structure but ability to fly almost anything with EVAir. I also flew for Delta Virtual Airlines for awhile as well as Air Canadian Virtual and VAStop

[i really don't want to wait that long...I just want to finish off my project.  If you will help me out with sending the pieces I need I would forever be greatful.

canuck3360: Well maybe I'll get a custom plane at a custom content site but otherwise I don't plan on flying for any virtual airlines.

nycsc4: Voltaire has a  TWA skin (though of a different livery) of 1960's "rocket livery" but IMO there shouldn't be two TWA planes of the same type so I'm dropping down the TWA plane because it looks harder to do in Photoshop (GIMP) than the Delta one (despite its tail).

It can be found... well its not released yet but there is a screenshot here.  You can PM him with a request.

infinitum19 made a request for Nivramel Airways (this is for his CJ).  The reader concept is seen in this picture:


Click to enlarge

I had to change the model's tail due to a texture error and fixed up a few things.  This new revamped 707 model will be used in all upcoming 707 releases.  The lower fuselage color has a little yellow in it given the fact that the 707 is an older airplane.  The wings and engine have a darker color now.  The tail I designed myself.

In-game testing will follow the making of nycsc4's 767 Delta skin.  They will be released together (it's another double feature) called "SimCity's Jets of the Sky Pack 1."

Any other 707-767 or 707-RJ85 whatever double or even triple features will retain the name.

So, like it?

I may have another popular plane in the making...

I forgot to say you can get it before anyone else does (since it is your plane) and then see it getting released to the public.  If you want it early then PM me AND ONLY YOU PM me.

BlackPheonixSim4: One lot with skid marks; I never made one with no skid marks.  That's it.  No other textures have been made.

[BlackPhoenixSim4 0]

If its only one lot with or without skid marks, that would be fine....I can use that.  Please send.

Thanks.

Glad to see this is still going strong, and some nice work being talked about it! Keep up the good work, daryl!

[infinitum19 0]

O my God! Its fantastic! I like it! Thank you!!!!!

Ummm. Can I make some revisions coz I think it is so colorful (peace!)

Here is what I am thinking of:

You may change the red body top to white or blue. You may also make the body:

blue

____

red [] [] [] [] ----->window part

____

white ---->bottom

just a thought.

[pilotdaryl 25]

The first one looks fine though I could make a revision (to make it look newer?

Saw the PM first... mind this one instead.

[infinitum19 0]

Hey... you need the Seal? here it is:

[pilotdaryl 25]

Don't worry man I got it covered.  I got the seal from your CJ.  It was hard to select the seal using contigous regions tool so I made a revision and changed the rest of the plane:

New features include the blue-red-white fuselage you requested, darker wings and engines, and the newly designed tail with the seal (that unfortunately seems to look like a green goblin!)

Yes I know there are a few bugs with the textures but it will be hard to see in-game trust me.

Don't worry nycsc4 I will get to yours.

[infinitum19 0]

This one's nicer! Very cool! Man I like this. Please give me the BAT as soon as possible so I could feature it in my CJ!!! Fantastic! Superb! Salute to pilotdaryl!!!!

NIVRAMEL AIRWAYS..... soon to bring you in your destination!

[pilotdaryl 25]

Slow down man I first need to test it in-game, if there's a problem modify it, then send you Beta 2 for CJ purposes (Don't forget to announce it is coming soon to the public!).

EDIT: Here's the in-game concept:

Unfortunately due to an in-game bug the text on the other side will appear mirrored!

[infinitum19 0]

Well, I can wait though raise high

[pilotdaryl 25]

I just sent a PM to you with version Beta 2 of this airplane (Beta 2 cause it is a pre-release [more specificaly a private release]).

[infinitum19 0]

Got it.... gonna test it when I arrive home

[pilotdaryl 25]

The Delta plane is taking shape:

Image deleted

See below for final look

How did I make the tail so accurately?

I was trying to mod fukuda's planes one day when I saw he used a special way of making accurate real world plane textures.  I used that trick for the tail.  It saves a lot of Photoshopping.  Thanks fukuda!

A few more modifications then Nivramel and Delta will be released together in the first "Jets of the Sky" pack.

EDIT: Delta's final look:

Delta and Nivramel in-game:

[hyped_up_boy 15]

whoa!! the delta plane is freakin' sweet! totally can't wait till the release! keep up the good work
